The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration is monitoring a low-pressure area east of Mindanao that may bring rains over the eastern part of the country in the next few days.

PAGASA weather specialist Ariel Rojas said the LPA was estimated 2,500 kilometers east of Mindanao yesterday morning. The weather disturbance is still outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility but could enter the country by Sunday, he added.

The LPA has a slim chance of developing into a tropical cyclone as of the moment, Rojas pointed out, but will likely move near the landmass and bring rains over Visayas and Mindanao in the next few days.

He advised the public to continue monitoring updates regarding this weather disturbance for possible changes in the forecast.

This weekend, the northeast monsoon, easterlies, and localized thunderstorms will be the dominant weather systems across the country.

Apayao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Aurora, Quezon, Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, and Quirino may experience light rains with possible intermittent wind gusts in the coastal and mountainous communities due to the surge of the amihan.

It could also bring partly cloudy to cloudy s
